Does anyone have issues with their local cycling club. I’m hoping our club is an exception. We have a lot of dysfunctional personalities associated with our elite ride as far as steady drama. It seems very few want to show up and just ride hard. This group is not no drop so there shouldn’t be a lot of crotchety attitudes over pushing limits. I’m noticing more and more rules and folks putting people on blast on social media like writing messages in caps to members by club officers. Some are more interested in beer and pizza off seasons and get royally pissed when you keep riding off the front and dropping the group. This club features four rides for four levels of riders. I’m not sure why there’s so much venom. Some of these folks did not put in the work in the offseason and they bitch at others that have worked hard. I keep thinking have I improved or have they regressed? I think it’s somewhere in the middle, but it does leave me wishing there was a group of folks that would just leave the attitude at the door. Yesterday, one of the officers was telling another member about how he was lecturing myself and another member. I rode a lot alone last season and it might get worse this summer. I used to look forward to these things to get away from bull crap, but now it seems everyone is bringing issues to rides. Does anyone else have this problem?
7/10 on the troll.
It was actually only 2/10 on quality, but you got 5 points for the traction.
Between you and "sub 5 or I die and I don't care if I leave my kids orphans" there have been w pretty great trolls in a couple days.
Well done sir, well done.
